That's good news as this is the same computer I am thinking of building.Ed

Sounds good,Almost exactly what i plan on building and putting together this month :) Tho doesn't the mobo and processor support DDR memory? Im still researching as well.Enjoy it,i will soon be leaving behind my P3 866 for my new hotrod! :D=Swiv=

You like it alot Ed!

yep great combo indeed !!!was my first choice, but as I still have to wait a little for CPU prices to drop I want to go with 2.53 I will also wait for the new ASUS P4G8X to come out and I think I will build it then... it will support my 8x video card and got some dualchannel memory support that supposed to give some extra horsepower.For video I bough an ASUS Ti4200 128RAM 8xAGP and use it on my old putter for now.... lack of extra $$$ gotta pay taxes can't leave out the government it just wouldn't be fair to them :-lolAndy

Yes it does; RAM: 3 x184-pin DDR333 PC2700/PC2100/PC1600Max 2GB I'm still researching also.p3 500Ed

While the P4PE has three memory slots, only two can be used if you use commonly available double sided DDR memory cards. Effectively your maximum DDR is 1 GB until single sided high speed DDR becomes available.Also the folks over in the RC30 support forum indicated the SoundMax on board audio chip was not adequate to support Radar Contact. I tried it both ways with a SB Live! and with the SoundMax and found the performance of RC30 lacking in both. I've quit using RC30 because of the speech and lack of other AI aircraft on the frequency with you.LarrySystem: Asus P4PE 2.4 GHz (Overclocks easily to 2.5) 1 GB PC2700 DDR (in two slots), LeadTek Ti4600 128 MB.
